Send email to all contacts email addresses
September 25, 2012, 05:36:00 pm
Hey Team,

I was wondering if it was possible to send bulk emails to every email address associated with a contact? This would be very useful finctionality for our NFP, as some organiational contacts have multiple email addresses, and they would like to get our newsletters sent to all addresses.

Would a hacky solution be as simple as removing : 

AND            ($email.is_bulkmail = 1 OR $email.is_primary = 1)

Statements from : /CRM/Mailing/BAO/Mailing.php.

This would remove checking for the email address requirement to be a primary or bulk email address? 


Im guessing that this would cause issues elsewhere?

Thanks!

I could have sworn that I read in this forum that this feature would be included in 4.2.  Now I cannot find that thread!

And, I don't see any sign of it in the 4.2 demo.   Did I just imagine this?  Or can someone else put a finger on it.

Thanks,

Civimail will optionally send an email to all email addresses that are marked Bulk for a contact. You need to enable it here:

Lobo-

Thank you!  This is a great feature for us (we made a real mess trying to make changes in the database in order to accomplish this).  Thanks for including this functionality and for and pointing me in the right direction!

Best,
